Pig Candy taking over NYC?

Charleston Dave

Looks like bacon-luvin' Eggers missed out on an opportunity.

Rhonda Kave, "entrepreneur and chocolatiere" owner of The Roni-Sue Chocolate Shoppe in the Essex Street Market in NYC's Lower East Side, is getting press for her Pig Candy, which she describes as "Crispy fried bacon strips, dipped in either milk or dark chocolate," for only $38 per pound.

Press quotes:
"Now I shall die happy, and sooner."
Peter Sagal, host of NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me

"Highly addictive"
Seth Kugel, NY Times "Weekend in NY"



She also sells Maple Bacon lollipops at $2 each.

I was watching food channel last night and it has a show about the favorites of it's chefs. One of them was tempura fried bacon. Looked like a heart attack on a plate that I would try!
